Brading Town U16’s 1 v 0 Moneyfield’s U16’s.

Played on what can only be described as a very poor pitch, it took a while for the Colts to find their rhythm against a typical Moneyfield’s side, (they picked up three yellows in the first half).. who were more interested in the player than the ball, both teams had chances but struggled to find a opening goal but both defences remained solid and went in at Half-time…0-0.

The Colts came out fired up for the second half and took the game to Moneyfield’s, they missed several chances to take the lead. 30 mins into the 2nd half and Craig Anker was off on a stretcher and taken to hospital. Connor Gudgeon took his place and it looked as if it wasn’t to be the Colts day. From the restart the the ball was pumped towards the Moneyfields penalty area where the full back handled (in the area) and Jack Morris scored from the spot.

Brandon Thompson and Zak Younie both had chances to increase the lead but both shot wide.

The Colts then really took control of the game and the back four dealt with anything Moneyfields threw at them and were worthy winners on the day.

They were a credit not only to themselves but to Brading Town and Chis Hitchcox, top man, well done boys.

Man of the Match….Caymen Collins.

Well done to Chris and his Cup winners from everyone at Brading Town.

Phil Moore, who is Director of Football at Vicarge Lane, has announced that Paul Young will be stepping down from his post of assistant manager to Phil. In his 4 years down the Lane, Paul has been a staunch shoulder for Phil. Paul will be taking a rest from football and is looking to playing a lot more golf. I’m sure Phil and everyone at BTFC wish Paul all the best for the future and thank him for all his efforts.

Steve Brougham will step up from the Reserves to take the role of 1st team Asst. Manager and will take a major role in the coaching and tactics of the 1st team squad. Steve, in his 1st season at BTFC has taken the Reserves to the Comb Cup Final and only narrowly missed out on promotion…( The Res have finished in 5th place), an excellent achievement.

Filling Steve’s role as Reserve team manager will be Richie Mumford, Richie has for the last several seasons managed St. Helens BS FC. Richie’s work up Goose Island had not gone un-noticed and other “elite” Island clubs were monitoring his situation. So a warm welcome is extended to Richie.

With the end of playing season almost upon us, the minds of the Committee are looking ahead and I understand that work down Vicarage Lane will commence as soon as the season ends.

Steve Lambourne heads the Task-Force and will be ably assisted by Wayne Bradley and Paul Collins.

This will be no small feat and will require as much help as possible from ALL involved with Brading Town FC, from the Juniors to the Seniors. If you can offer any time to this project please speak to the Chairman…..time is of the essence.
